Hello. I have a similar but opposite need. Am I able to use a network attached storage device, fully accessible by my Mac's through AFP as a fileshare, to house a single iPhoto library that is accessible and maintained by several people using a couple MacBooks?

I seem to be able to only maintain a Library on a computer drive rather than a shared drive.

I have a similar situation/set of needs, and what I do is use iPhoto for my personal pictures, and Aperture for my professional shots (also since it clearly has many more options and flexibility than iPhoto) and is not that expensive.
